I'm a female 23 who's tired of the modern dating world.

Hey guys, <br><br>I was reading the recent post on r/wallstreetbets about the modern dating world being a complete disaster. I don't really agree, but I think the world is changing, and I want to give my perspective. <br><br>I've been single for the last three years, and in the last year, I've been on 30+ dates with men aged 23-33. I live in a big city, and my dating pool is quite large. However, I've noticed a trend. <br><br>I recently had a date with a guy that I thought was nice. We had been chatting for a few weeks before we agreed to meet for dinner. When I got there, he had already ordered a bottle of wine, and he seemed irritated that I hadn't had a glass by the time he took the bottle. <br><br>He proceeded to tell me about the other women he's gone on dates with in the past, how he used to be in a relationship with a woman who cheated on him, how he's "given up" on love, and how he's never going to settle down. I tried to politely get the conversation off of that topic, but it didn't go well. I ended up paying for my meal, even though I had already said I was going to split the bill, and he seemed irritated when I did. <br><br>The worst part came after the date when he messaged me, "I'm surprised how boring you were. I thought you would be wackier." That was the last I heard from him. <br><br>I've had other men complain about how much work it is to have to text a woman, and how they don't think it's fair that women expect them to do it. I've had other men complain about how boring women are, and how they don't think women have personalities. <br><br>I've noticed that there's been an uptick in men wanting to skip the "chase" and just go straight for sex. I think this is because there's so much access to it now, especially with the rise of Only Fans. It's also become normalized. <br><br>I've noticed that men are more and more distant in their texts and interactions. They don't really ask women questions, and they don't seem interested in getting to know anyone anymore. <br><br>I've been noticing this trend across the board, and I don't think it's necessarily the fault of women. I think it's more the fault of the dating apps and social media, as well as the changing social climate. <br><br>I think men want women to be more aggressive in their pursuit, but then they also complain when women don't put out as easily. They want women to be more passive, but also more "spicy." They want women to be able to multitask, work full time, have side hustles, and be able to have sex on the first date. They also complain about how women don't do housework anymore. <br><br>I think this is just the natural progression of things, and it's not necessarily the fault of one side or the other. It's just the way things are going to be going forward. I'm not really sure how it's going to be resolved, but I thought I'd give my perspective.
